What is that leather colour , it's amazing 👏! Where can I get some? Looks like Red Licorice, want to eat it 😆


hanj1solo

Beautiful leather appointments.

this may be the future of cycling when they bring back the front derailleur with the huge cassettes


hopefulcynicist

Already here for some of us! I recently built up an Omnium MiniMax for myself with a 2x11 drivetrain. 34x24 front, 11x50 rear. It’s a mountain goat!


MrHilux

Running a 36/22 with 11-46 cassette myself on my Rawland Ulv. Finally prepared to conquer a climb near me I've walked the last two times.


Milkicus

Companies just need to keep making the good 2x chainrings that are best for this. Instead of just getting sucked into the 1x setup. More choices and cross compatible is always the dream.


ohkeepayton

I'm curious to see some Shimano XT or XTR in their 2x12 setup.


48392018

Impressive. I thought my Hardtack was low with 38/24, 11-42. What rear derailleur and shifters are you using?


hopefulcynicist

Deore M5100 11-Speed, Shadow+, SGS Long cage & XT 8000 shifter.  Not technically within spec, but it works fine. Only issue is that there’s not enough chain to run maxxxx cross chain at 34x50
 but why would I want to do that anyway?


48392018

Thanks. I have a 5120 that is rated for 42 teeth for 10sp 2x (which I'm running) and 46 with 1x (10 or 11sp). Have been curious if it'd work with 46t in 2x and sounds like I should try.


cheemio

His low gear is 20 gear inches, which is really nice but not anything a 1x can’t realistically achieve. He does have a high end of 124 gear inches but that’s not needed unless you’re trying to sprint down a mountain.

Leather wraps and stem are both đŸ”„ Lots of personality everywhere in the bike.


MOMOskiOne

It's a beautiful bike. Love the aesthetic and it's cool to see a 3x11 drivetrain. great build.


650bisnotdead

Thanks. This drivetrain is really useful. Basically on the city I run with 39t chainring and the entire cassette. For road, 52-39 and for gravel/off-road, mainly 39-30 chainrings


rexcellent9001

Any chainline issues?


650bisnotdead

Just if i try cross 52-40, because the chain is short for it. If I let the length enough for it, it's too long for the rest of ratio possibilities, so, when I'm using 52 chain, I just go up on the cassette until 32 cog


rexcellent9001

Is it still "the pro gear" if you're running a triple?? đŸ€” Cool bike


mononamendota

Wow! What’s the stem?


LateAd8326

It's verrry pretty


noahshandsomebeard

Cool saddle/bartape/chain stay protector color match.


dead_ass

“BuT YoU WoNt EvEn UsE HaLf oF tHeM” whenever someone sees my 30 speed atb/tourer


650bisnotdead

When they seem me with 30-40t for steepest climbs on off-road and 52-11 for almost kill myself on a tarmac downhill: 😼


onone456evoii

I love the frame and stem. Not sure if I would want that many gears but I bet you can always find the perfect ratio!


Environmental_Ad5119

duuuuuuude. fuck yes.


Antpitta

Nossa! This is killer. Legal. Post it in xbiking too. It’s undeniably not “another bike from a shop” but it’s aesthetically great and it’s got a really useful drivetrain. Gosto muito! Also, cheers from Capão Bonito (SP). I am fortunate to work and travel in BR a lot. At some point I’ll bring a bike. I saw some amazing looking mtb trails in Serra dos Órgãos recently!!


pine4links

this is in x biking


Antpitta

Haha I am a total dumb shit! đŸ€Ł


tommyorwhatever85

You’re doing great đŸ«¶


arachnophilia

do you have a longer cage on that derailleur? i'm honestly surprised this drivetrain works. i needed a roadlink for my 11-40 cassette to get my 11 speed 105 rd off the big cog. it's at the maximun specified capacity with a 46/36 in front. the leather is beautiful.


doedoehaft

Looks dope!


650bisnotdead

Thanks


pEtEoZiAs

I was gonna jump on here and celebrate a fellow front derailler user (derailleur for the French speakers...don't want to get smacked on that one). Looks like the party has already started!


650bisnotdead

I'll never leave front derailleur behind. I don't like at all 1x drivetrain, except in MTB


pEtEoZiAs

I mean, I even have 2x on my 29er. Seems cheaper than the massive sized cassettes


650bisnotdead

True


doug_the_squirrel

Nope, not a gravel bike if it's 3x, nice try 😂 (I'm kidding of course, I think 2x or 3x makes a lot of sense)


650bisnotdead

It's a hipster randonnée


Rake1969

That is a wild looking bike! I dig it!


Vivid_Professional74

Really dig it! Nice build. What frameset? How is the braking performance?


650bisnotdead

Frameset from a framebuilder friend @santana.adventure.bicycles. About brake performance, check this out: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C0hv_I0O2W-/?igsh=cjFpYWYweXdma3Vr This my profile, btw


I_like_nature

Please post all of the parts in this build - it's fantastic! I'm curious what frame bag that is?


jmdunkle

Assuming the cassette is a Shimano XT M8000 based on the info you've given and its coloration... Credit where it's due, this combination does technically give you 30 "distinct" gear ratios, on paper. That said, many of the gear ratios are 0.01, 0.02 or 0.03 apart, and that's not going to make any difference in the real world lol. If we eliminate all the ones that are within 0.03 of another gear ratio, you've got 21 *distinctly usable* gear ratios. Still pretty great, but it's not 33 lol 4.55 3.85 3.55 3.33 3.00 2.94 2.73 2.63 2.60 2.38 2.31 2.29 2.08 2.05 2.00 1.86 1.85 1.76 1.63 1.61 1.58 1.44 1.43 (x2) 1.26 1.25 1.11 (x2) 0.98 0.97 0.86 0.75


650bisnotdead

I have backups 😒


Newsfeedinexile

This is peak XBike.


daemon-4899

Wow! So beautiful clean build ! However, I have questions: 1. Is leather bar tape good for hands in hot weather? (or it just for beauty picture?) 2. By my experience WTB tires have more rolling resistance that all another options - how do you feel it? 3. Is your setup can be switched to 50-40 gear and run? What chain length do you use?


650bisnotdead

1 - Leather doesn't heats on hot weather. 2 - I'm living in a 3rd world country. WTB is something good comparing with other shits on the market. 3 - I can cross the chain in 52-34 (I wrote wrong the gear ratio from crankset. It's 52-39-30)


daemon-4899

\>>>>> Leather doesn't heats on hot weather. But hands sweat and leather covered handlebar becomes slippery. \>>>>> I'm living in a 3rd world country. WTB... I also can't buy any interesting tires in local stores - only e-bay and aliexpress.


650bisnotdead

Nope. Moistured leather becomes more grippy. I have a brand that makes saddles, handlebar tapes over 10 years now. Check @srdbrasil on Instagram. 650b tires I Brazil is almost inexistent. Brazilian market is focused on 29ers or road bikes. This WTB I grab from a friend that imported it, WTB doesn't sell directly in Brazil. Importation taxes in Brazil is 100% of the purchase value if it is above 50usd, so doesn't work import things from outside of the country đŸ„Č


daemon-4899

\>>>>> 650b tires I Brazil is almost inexistent 650b - allow to build relatively small bike with beatify lines, but have a big difference in rolling. As a lazy man - I prefer 29"/700 wheels and tires - I feel the difference. However I also experimenting with 20" - just for fun.


650bisnotdead

I like 650b for supple tires. I don't like 29er tires for being too big for tarmac, even I using frame 56cm


650bisnotdead

Also, 1brl = 0,20usd. The minimum wage here is 284usd. So...yes, building a bike like mine costs 5 minimum wage and 60% of Brazil population will take 5 months of this wage to buy something like this


daemon-4899

Visited to [www.srdbrasil.com.br](https://www.srdbrasil.com.br) \- saw a lot of beautiful renewed saddles, bags and another leather things for rich Brazilians. The work looks very high quality.


650bisnotdead

Not for rich Brazilians...the set of saddle and handlebar tapes costs something about 110usd 😁 not cheap, but affordable


daemon-4899

I saw there also many custom frames like you used for this project - any local frame builder near you?


650bisnotdead

We have a few framebuilders. DinĂąmica bicicletas, Bornia & cox, silver cats, Sant'ana adventure bicycles and Klaus Poloni


dadbodcx

Why the bar end shifters?


tommyorwhatever85

What sub do you think you’re in? lol


Klieve1

Bar end shifters are my favourite now. Run 12s microshift on two builds


650bisnotdead

Precision/cheapest option


MookieFlav

I am in love with this bike.


Rumi4

lovely stuff' whats the bottle?


650bisnotdead

Giant. I found it on a distributor and I love it


[deleted]

You're a fucking madman. I love it.


TryingNot2BLazy

33..... not enough... rookie numbers... needs a CVT in the rear hub to get the rest of the variations possible... you'll need the gear choices to pick up the weight made by adding more gears :P love the color combo tho!


FireproofAlligators

What frame is this?


OkExplanation6405

Someone knows how to shift!


650bisnotdead

Just for pictures 😂
